What's inside?
Automatic optimization techniques have been used in recent years for the aerodynamic and mechanical design of turbomachinery components. Despite the many advantages, their use is usually limited to simple applications in industrial practice, because of their high computational cost. In this paper, an optimization strategy is presented, which enables the three-dimensional multipoint, multi objective aerodynamic optimization of turbomachinery blades in a time frame compatible with industrial standards.
The design strategy is based on the coupling of three-dimensional inverse design, response surface method, multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, and computational fluid dynamics analyses.
In this publication, you will:
- Discover the design strategy based on the coupling of multi objective optimization algorithms, RSM, and CFD analyses, where the blade parametrization is performed by means of a three-dimensional inverse design method.
- See how this design method is capable of performing the three-dimensional, multipoint, multi objective optimization of turbomachinery blades in a time frame compatible with industrial standards.
- Understand why such an approach leads to a substantial reduction of the computational cost.
